Booking your holiday

What do your holiday prices include?

The majority of our holidays are packages and include: transportation, accommodation and transfers to/from resort. You should check carefully that the holiday you intend to book includes the items you want. If you book online, a breakdown of what is included is displayed when booking online and you will be advised of what your holiday includes when you book over the phone. If, when you book, you are not given a flight option, no flights or transfers will be included. Your invoice will only outline what is included, not detail what is not included.

What meals are included in the price of my holiday?

Your holiday will be based on one of the following board basis for your meals

Room Only / Self-Catering - No meals will be included in the price of your holiday.

Bed and Breakfast - Breakfast only will be included in the price of your holiday.

Half Board - Your breakfast and evening meal will be included in the price of your holiday. In some cases you can choose to have lunch instead of dinner but the hotel will confirm this upon your arrival.

Full Board - Your breakfast, lunch and evening meal will be included in the price of your holiday.

Some of our hotels may also offer an "All-Inclusive" package exclusive to the Inghams' Programme. There is no universal definition of "all-inclusive" so it is important that you check over all the details that are included before booking this type of service.

Do you sell only packages?

No - we also offer flight or accommodation only bookings. Please note, no transfers are included with any of these options.

Are my monies financially protected?

If booking a package, then yes. Inghams hold both ATOL and ABTA licences meaning that all holidays purchased, either direct with us or through one of our agents, are 100% financially protected.

Are prices shown on your website up-to-date?

Prices and holiday availability for all holidays are updated every day. The price you pay is the amount shown when you confirm your holiday. You will only be liable for this cost (as confirmed on your payment screen) once you have confirmed your booking and payment details.

On the accommodation page the price is 'From' what does that mean?

At this point the price is an indication of the final price and does not include any room or flight supplements. The price is based on the lowest available flight route with the lowest possible room.
